After the epel packages installation it will throw an error of not contacting snort.org .
One of the issues is that now it uses https instead of http.
The other big issue is that the snort website has been completely changed so a curl follow redirect will not work.The location will be written in the response header like this :
Hello,
After the epel packages installation it will throw an error of not contacting snort.org .
One of the issues is that now it uses https instead of http.
The other big issue is that the snort website has been completely changed so a curl follow redirect will not work.The location will be written in the response header like this :

As you see there is a location which servers the file. I tried to get the file using the following (had a cookie file ) :
curl -I https://www.snort.org/downloads/snort/snort-2.9.6.2.tar.gz | grep Location | cut -d ':' -f1 --complement -s > tst.txt && ur=$(cat tst.txt);wget --load-cookie=g2 $ga
Anyone has any solution other than this ?
